It's just that this sort of thing by them rubs me the wrong way. Yet another thing about Vietnam. Promoted under the title of "fresh air". I find it a bit pathetic. The shooters did a great service in V. and almost certainly shortened the war by a significant amount and thereby saved lives. The fallen ones in particular should be remembered. I just think that this is a rather stale way of proceeding. Especially since there have been many conflicts afterwards and serious media problems related to them. Study them and dedicate the findings to the courageous ones. I think these guys were there to report the workings of the machinery (state/war) and not to become entries in coffee table books. Regards, Kari PS. I lived in US for many years. After the first one and a half years I sold my TV. Could'd bear the crap anymore - essentially just channel 13 to watch (the public one). Radio was pretty much the same. I did appreciate the few alternatives there were. NPR was a link to sanity indeed.
